Thanks for Ordering a Brochure Website!

You should soon get an email confirming your payment. Meanwhile, please pick your hosting & support package — it’s free for the first three months. This will then lead to a form requesting the other details I’ll need to start. So if you’re short of time right now, please bookmark this page and return to it ASAP.

N.B. Unlike other hosting packages, these include the things business sites really need — speed, security and support. Because slow sites get fewer visitors, and actively discourage sales. Normal hosting doesn’t cover the  starred items — and often omits the other bold ones, too.

Thanks, Pete — your advice is like gold dust! — Janet L. Website Maintenance: .....(5/5)

Why Business Websites Need Support

Small business website hosting can get complex if you really want your site to succeed

Running a website well isn't easy.

Online marketing evolves rapidly, so there's lots of bad or outdated "advice" around and no silver bullet. An experienced adviser can be a valuable ally, helping you side-step costly experiments as you learn what strategies work best for you.

Why Websites Need Maintenance

Many sites unknowingly (and often invisibly) spread malware to visitors. Hackers find new ways to exploit sites every day. No site is too small to be a target. Also, obsolete data can mount up in unmaintained systems, adding seconds to every page load, crippling SEO and sales.

Left unchecked, such factors can break any site. So regular website maintenance is business-critical. Yet unless you do it every day, the processes are easy to forget. It's also often important to know why things are done a certain way. So repeatedly explaining stuff takes longer than just doing it for you.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! In over 20 years of online retailing this is the best and most comprehensive bit of help I've ever had relating to the dreaded SEO. I really appreciate it - many thanks again — Barbara H. SEO: .....(5/5)
